I thought it was a game of ups and downs for both teams. The thing that will help us from this game is how hard they (Hamden) worked. They really challenged us to work hard and this time of the year it is important to face this kind of competition.

They've achieved enough. I'm sure they wanted this state championship, but they didn't need it to validate their capability.

I think we have to bring that kind of energy to every game.

Sometimes being on the power play is a bad thing.
